Radioactive Ir-192 is used principally for non-destructive testing (NDT) and, to a lesser extent, as a radio-tracer in the oil industry. Industrial gamma radiography involves the testing and grading of welds on pressurized piping, pressure vessels, high-capacity storage containers, pipelines, and...
An automated apparatus for handling Ir-192 radiography sources of pellet (2.0 mm diameter x 2.0 mmt) and disc (1.6 mm diameter x 0.4 mmt) was developed in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). The apparatus consists of a mechanical system and a computer system connected with the ...

Related to iridium-192:Cobalt-60 192Ir A radioactive isotope of iridium, half-life 73.8 days. It is commonly used in brachytherapy oncology procedures. See also:iridium Medical Dictionary, © 2009 Farlex and Partners Want to thank TFD for its existence?Tell a friend about us, add a link ...
FIGURE 3.Typical192Ir radiography camera. Smaller amounts of192Ir, in the shape of tiny wires and spherical particles, are used for brachytherapy radiation treatment of cancers. Such γ sources are also being tested for a variety of other medical applications. ...
The radioisotope iridium-192 is one of the two most important sources of energy for use in industrial γ-radiography for non-destructive testing of metals.[93][94] Additionally, 192 Ir is used as a source of gamma radiation for the treatment of cancer using brachytherapy, a form of radiother...
In January 2008, two subjects (labelled P1 and P2), working on nondestructive testing, were accidentally overexposed to gammarays from iridium-192 after breakage of industrial radiography device. The first symptoms in both workers were acute diarrhea and pancytopenia. Although the symptoms were ...
Iridium-containing molding useful as a gamma radiation source e.g. for weld seam radiography and cancer treatmentAn iridium-containing molding is produced by pressing a powder mixture of iridium, containing its light isotope, and a ductile neutron-inert metal. An iridium-containing molding is ...
